This is an announcement for the paper "Compact and weakly compact
composition operators from the Bloch space into M\"obius invariant spaces"
by Manuel D. Contreras, Santiago Diaz-Madrigal, and Dragan Vukotic.
Abstract: We obtain exhaustive results and treat in a unified way the
question of boundedness, compactness, and weak compactness of composition
operators from the Bloch space into any space from a large family of
conformally invariant spaces that includes the classical spaces like
$BMOA$, $Q_\alpha$, and analytic Besov spaces $B^p$. In particular, by
combining techniques from both complex and functional analysis, we prove
that in this setting weak compactness is equivalent to compactness. For
the operators into the corresponding ``small'' spaces we also characterize
the boundedness and show that it is equivalent to compactness.

This is an announcement for the paper "Divergence for s-concave and log
concave functions" by Umut Caglar and Elisabeth M. Werner.
Abstract: We prove new entropy inequalities for log concave and s-concave
functions that strengthen and generalize recently established reverse log
Sobolev and Poincare inequalities for such functions. This leads naturally
to the concept of f-divergence and, in particular, relative entropy for
s-concave and log concave functions. We establish their basic properties,
among them the affine invariant valuation property. Applications are
given in the theory of convex bodies.

This is an announcement for the paper "Grothendieck's theorem for
absolutely summing multilinear operators is optimal" by Daniel
Pellegrino and Juan B. Seoane-Sepulveda.
Abstract: Grothendieck's theorem asserts that every continuous
linear operator from $\ell_{1}$ to $\ell_{2}$ is absolutely $\left(
1;1\right) $-summing. In this note we prove that the optimal
constant $g_{m}$ so that every continuous $m$-linear operator from
$\ell_{1}\times\cdots\times\ell_{1}$ to $\ell_{2}$ is absolutely
$\left(g_{m};1\right) $-summing is $\frac{2}{m+1}$. This result solves
(in the positive) a conjecture posed by A.T. Bernardino in 2011.

This is an announcement for the paper "On ultrapowers of Banach spaces
of type $\mathscr L_\infty$" by Antonio Aviles, Felix Cabello Sanchez,
Jesus M. F. Castillo, Manuel Gonzalez and Yolanda Moreno.
Abstract: We prove that no ultraproduct of Banach spaces via a countably
incomplete ultrafilter can contain $c_0$ complemented. This shows that
a ``result'' widely used in the theory of ultraproducts is wrong. We
then amend a number of results whose proofs had been infected by that
statement. In particular we provide proofs for the following statements:
(i) All $M$-spaces, in particular all $C(K)$-spaces, have ultrapowers
isomorphic to ultrapowers of $c_0$, as well as all their complemented
subspaces isomorphic to their square. (ii) No ultrapower of the Gurari\u
\i\ space can be complemented in any $M$-space. (iii) There exist Banach
spaces not complemented in any $C(K)$-space having ultrapowers isomorphic
to a $C(K)$-space.

This is an announcement for the paper "On uniformly finitely extensible
Banach spaces" by Jesus M. F. Castillo, Valentin Ferenczi and Yolanda
Moreno.
Abstract: We continue the study of Uniformly Finitely Extensible Banach
spaces (in short, UFO) initiated in Moreno-Plichko, \emph{On automorphic
Banach spaces}, Israel J. Math. 169 (2009) 29--45 and Castillo-Plichko,
\emph{Banach spaces in various positions.} J. Funct. Anal. 259 (2010)
2098-2138. We show that they have the Uniform Approximation Property
of Pe\l czy\'nski and Rosenthal and are compactly extensible. We will
also consider their connection with the automorphic space problem of
Lindenstrauss and Rosenthal --do there exist automorphic spaces other than
$c_0(I)$ and $\ell_2(I)$?-- showing that a space all whose subspaces are
UFO must be automorphic when it is Hereditarily Indecomposable (HI),
and a Hilbert space when it is either locally minimal or isomorphic
to its square. We will finally show that most HI --among them, the
super-reflexive HI space constructed by Ferenczi-- and asymptotically
$\ell_2$ spaces in the literature cannot be automorphic.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the bounded approximation
property in Banach spaces" by Jesus M.F. Castillo, and Yolanda Moreno.
Abstract: We prove that the kernel of a quotient operator from
an $\mathcal L_1$-space onto a Banach space $X$ with the Bounded
Approximation Property (BAP) has the BAP. This completes earlier results
of Lusky --case $\ell_1$-- and Figiel, Johnson and Pe\l czy\'nski --case
$X^*$ separable. Given a Banach space $X$, we show that if the kernel of
a quotient map from some $\mathcal L_1$-space onto $X$ has the BAP then
every kernel of every quotient map from any $\mathcal L_1$-space onto $X$
has the BAP. The dual result for $\mathcal L_\infty$-spaces also hold:
if for some $\mathcal L_\infty$-space $E$ some quotient $E/X$ has the
BAP then for every $\mathcal L_\infty$-space $E$ every quotient $E/X$
has the BAP.

This is an announcement for the paper "Stability constants and the
homology of quasi-Banach spaces" by Jesus M. F. Castillo and Felix
Cabello Sanchez.
Abstract: We affirmatively solve the main problems posed by Laczkovich
and Paulin in \emph{Stability constants in linear spaces}, Constructive
Approximation 34 (2011) 89--106 (do there exist cases in which the
second Whitney constant is finite while the approximation constant is
infinite?) and by Cabello and Castillo in \emph{The long homology sequence
for quasi-Banach spaces, with applications}, Positivity 8 (2004) 379--394
(do there exist Banach spaces $X,Y$ for which $\Ext(X,Y)$ is Hausdorff
and non-zero?). In fact, we show that these two problems are the same.

This is an announcement for the paper "The almost Daugavet property and
translation-invariant subspaces" by Simon Lucking.
Abstract: Let $G$ be a metrizable, compact abelian group and let $\Lambda$
be a subset of its dual group $\widehat G$. We show that $C_\Lambda(G)$
has the almost Daugavet property if and only if $\Lambda$ is an infinite
set, and that $L^1_\Lambda(G)$ has the almost Daugavet property if and
only if $\Lambda$ is not a $\Lambda(1)$ set.
